Someone needs to come up with a quit smoking vape service, where each refill cartridge comes with a little less nicotine, and then starts coming with progressively more disgusting flavors.

This is a good start but honestly only distinguishing between "Apps" and "Games" leaves a lot of room for bad actors.

A calculator that uses 1GB RAM would be considered compliant based on the numbers rolling out in Feb. 2027.

It really feels like Google should be providing more transparency to the user - apps should have a call-out on their Play Store page that says, e.g., "typical RAM usage 0.6 GB, higher than 96% of similar apps."

Performance metrics should be public and transparent so users can make informed choices.

Probably hard to do.

One of the benefits of the big data hoarding companies is they have the resources and DGAF energy to harvest data from every phone using their system in order to get very accurate real time data on traffic conditions.

It takes a lot more effort to do this in a way that respects user privacy, and a lot of infrastructure to provide those updates in real time. A lot to ask from small dev teams working on free apps.

CoMaps does support Android Auto, but only if you download it from the Play Store.

I just licked my screen and can definitively say that tastes very different from vanilla.

If I were a Fable dev, I would be dragging my feet so hard getting this thing out the door because you know MicroSlop™ already had Copilot draft the layoff emails for release day.

I tried the original, and Fable 3 which came with my Xbox 360 forever ago, and neither managed to impress me enough to keep playing. Curious if this one will be any different.

I'm really excited about the potential of this partnership, but have been burned before by device manufacturers partnering with ROM developers only to realize they can't enshittify the ROMs like their base OS and abandoning the deal.

This is a step forward for GOS and a chance for Motorola to stand out as a potential champion for user privacy, but only time will tell if they can actually maintain that stance.

I want to support this partnership but I really need more proof that this isn't just Motorola desperately grasping at straws to stay relevant.

I tend to hold onto them until they literally stop functioning or stop receiving critical updates, but at some point you've gotta purge that junk drawer :D

No, don't fuck it, that won't help. Just stop buying beef.

As long as someone is keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't accidentally shoot anybody.

Is that like a DLC you can get or something?

Don't go to a casino expecting to make money.

Better yet, just don't go to a casino.

Best I can do is perptual drought.

I downloaded MicrosoftSettings.exe and ran it on my test PC. The installer is 22.2MB. I have Chrome and Brave set up with their own defaults, and searching from either pulled up Google and Brave Search respectively.

The first screen is titled “Welcome to Microsoft Recommended Search Settings,” with a toggle already switched to “Yes” for setting Bing as your search engine. Small text underneath says the change applies to Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Installing Firefox takes like 3 minutes, you couldn't spin up one more browser for science?

I mean just about every metric I've seen suggests most websites that see an increase in scraping see a decrease in actual human visitors. I doubt there's much distinction between chat and search users - the goal of these services is to drop click-through rates.

Sorry, what? I'm a millennial, this is common knowledge for anyone who played a videogame in the last quarter century.

Do y'all not reboot after kernel/firmware updates?

You can do this in uBlock Origin without having to install another add-on by adding the following to My filters and enabling Allow custom filters requiring trust

*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "Microsoft", "Microslop")
*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "microsoft", "microslop")
*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "MICROSOFT", "MICROSLOP")

This will probably break some things but I'm not sure I care enough to figure out what. Enjoy.

Cats are remarkably capable predators, and cat owners are remarkably irresponsible.

Letting your cat be an "outside" cat is bad enough for the environment. Not spaying/neutering said "outside cat" is how we get feral cats everywhere.

That said, I dont love the vague "eradicate feral cats" language. Would greatly prefer a broad spectrum spay/neuter/tag program to naturally reduce their population.

Predator-free NZ was always destined to ruffle some feathers though.

They find an abandoned station full of nonperishable food supplies and he becomes the person in charge of supply rationing.

Also I think at one point they pull the "I tried, but I just can't seem to lose the weight" card and kinda give up.

But most importantly, if he lost a ton of weight those time travel episodes would be tough to track!
